Gordo sent me some picture of his setup and wrote this description to go with them.
The material bolted to the hinge pillars is 1/4" by 3" flat stock. If you can see in the pics I drilled several holes along each cross piece in order to move the horizontal piece back and forth to find center. The horizontal piece also has holes in which to adjust the pivot assembly up and down. The latch mount is a 7" piece of 1/4" by 3" flat stock bolted to the latch area with 4 bolts and a piece of 1 1/2" by 3" channel welded to the latch plate and to the cross brace. The hanging supports are 1 1/2" by 4" channel. The pivot assembly was two 12" sections of pipe with one that fits insde each other, one side has holes drilled through the pair in order to insert a pin to lock it in several postions. I hope this helps you somewhat. Any questions, please ask. You may post these pics on the board if you want to.
Thanks for the description Gordo!
